How about an evening of looping and crimping? I am happy to offer basic jewellery making classes in the comfort of your home in the Aberdeen area. Why not get a small group of your friends together, open a bottle of wine and have some fun? I can thoroughly recommend stringing beads as a most relaxing, and enjoyable pastime. If this interests you, contact me.
